Note
Address areas and IP addresses of the components on the plant bus
Always assign IP addresses in different IP address ranges to the network adapters (separate
address range for Bus1 and separate address range for Bus2).
Example:
● Ring 1:
– IP address range: 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255
– Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
● Ring 2:
– IP address range: 192.168.2.0 - 192.168.2.255
– Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Availability - redundant, fault-tolerant plant bus
The block diagram for a redundant, fault-tolerant plant bus with a CPU 410H and two CPs in
the OS server is shown below:
In this system, one CP 16x3 or one subsystem of the AS can fail in the OS server without
affecting the overall system. The plant bus (bus) is configured redundantly and with redundant
switches in each case. As a result, a failure of the bus component and all components involved
(switches) is covered.
